   Dear Sakytoky,

Greetings, this is ASRock TSD.

This board provides two M.2 slots, but only M2_1 supports SATA interface.

- 1 x Ultra M.2 Socket (M2_1), supports M Key type 2260/2280/22110 M.2 SATA3 6.0 Gb/s module and M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen3 x4 (32 Gb/s) (with Summit Ridge, Raven Ridge and Pinnacle Ridge) or Gen3 x2 (16 Gb/s) (with Athlon 2xxGE series APU)
- 1 x M.2 Socket (M2_2), supports M Key type 2230/2242/2260/2280 M.2 PCI Express module up to Gen2 x4 (20 Gb/s)

Regarding your question, please install SATA type M.2 on M2_1 slot for use.

Thanks!

All the best,
ASRock TSD

	The WD Blue Sata M.2 will not work in the Taichi X470 M.2-2 slot. The drive will not show in BIOS. I want to know will it support SATA in the M.2-2 slot. Thanks.
